Japan Earthquake Alert App (1.9 million followers) Says Sayonara to X

"[..]We have decided that if we were to spend over ¥700,000 per month that it would be better if this money could go to developing our NERV app and strengthening our ActivityPub servers instead of X’s API. Therefore, we are beginning to cut down on our posts on X."

Personally I find it interesting that they went with mastodon instead of misskey, but that's the beauty of the fediverse. It doesn't matter whether it's misskey, mastodon, firefish or all the other great options... y'all get disaster information

@furbyonsteroids And even if you don't wish to have a Fedi account to follow, every public user page has an rss-feed. At least on Prelooma and Masto, but I'm pretty sure, it's also true for other software.
